Grenfell tragedy was product of ’brutal’ system of inequality: Jeremy Corbyn

Grenfell Tower stands as a symbol of a failed political system which has held sway in Britain for the past three decades and which Labour will replace, Jeremy Corbyn is set to declare.

In his keynote speech to Labour’s conference in Brighton, Mr Corbyn will say that the fire in which around 80 people perished in west London in June was the product of a "brutal" system of rampant inequality, hollowed-out public services and disdain for the powerless and the poor.
